Operatives of the Uyo Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, have arrested two identical twins: Takwan Potential and Takwan Peter and twenty-six others for alleged internet fraud in Cross River State.

Spokesman for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said the suspects were arrested last on Tuesday, following credible intelligence linking them with suspected internet-related fraud.

Uwujaren gave the names of other suspects detained as: Takwan Emmanuel, Kelvin Onedu, Evans Edwin, David Osuji, Osang Tony, Confidence Oblech, Uche Chinedu, Gabriel Kanong, Ojong Victor, Ephraim Ikechukwu and Shedrack Mfon and others.

Others include Godswill Omini, Walter Opha, Godswill Iti, Moses Sha, Prince Uba, Anyi Bassey, David Disi, Peter Silas, Christian Uche, Chidindu Oforji, Kelvin Anyanwu, Anthony Ojone, Samuel Disi, Gideon Joseph and Ezekiel Francis.

He said items recovered from the suspects included several mobile phones, laptops, five cars and a wifi device, adding that they would soon be arraigned.

Preliminary investigations showed that while some of the suspects specialised in love scams, others engaged in fraudulent impersonation and obtaining by false pretence.

The suspects will soon be charged to court.
